Riding with my family in a '58 Buick
I can still recall
How we'd drive through the valley
To my Grandmother's house
Every summer vacation
When I was small
And I'd gaze out the window
At the farms and the orchards
And the sound of our motor
Would frighten the starlings
And they'd rise from the fields to fly

My mother would grumble
"Those birds are a curse
They're a thorn in the farmers" side
But I couldn't help feeling sad and inspired
By their desperate ballet in the sky

Chorus
Say a prayer for the starlings
A hot, dry wind beats their ragged wings
Have a thought for the starlings
No one ever listens to the songs they sing
Say a prayer for the starlings
There's no welcome for them anywhere
Leave some crumbs for the starlings
They say that Winter will be cold this year
She was sitting on a curb by the Seven Eleven®
She asked if I had some spare change
Her skin wore that leathered and windburned look
And the light in her blue eyes was wild and strange
I sat down beside her and asked her her name
She said, "pick one you like, I need something to eat"
And her life made me think
Of the dead leaves in Autumn
Drifting like ghosts down the street

Is the life that we celebrate only a dream
A lie that we serve like a god made of stone
And our hearts are the hunter
Birds with no nesting place
Weary and aching for home

Io Canto by Laura Pausini is my current favourite, although my Italian is very sketchy. Nonetheless it's a fantastic album of covers sung by the lady with that great (and slightly husky) voice, backed up by fantastic production. There's some amazing songs on it.

Most of my recently-purchased music is French, but I understand French lyrics.

Journey - Feelin' That Way (great song to bump and grind to, and the lyrics are somewhat romantic and suggestive, although very open to interpretation.) I've always wished I could sing like Steve Perry.

Opened my eyes to a new kind of way All the good times that you saved Are you feeling You feeling that way too Or am I just Am I just a fool When the summer's gone, she'll be there Standing by the light Once she's been to where she's gone to She should know wrong from rightIs she feeling Are you feeling You feeling that way too Or am I just Am I just a fool A new road's waiting You touched my life, whoa Soft and warm on a summer's night You're the only one, I told you The only one I love The lovely one (lovely one) I'm thinking of When the summer's gone, she'll be there Standing by the light Once she's been to where she's gone to She should know wrong from rightIs she feeling Are you feeling You feeling that way too Whoa, oh yeah, yeah, yeah You feeling that way tooWhen the summer's gone, she'll be there Standing by the light Once she's been to where she's gone to She should know wrong from right Is she feelingWhoa, is she feeling Feeling that way Oh, my, my, oh Feeling that way Whoa, oh Feeling that way

BuckCherry - Crazy Bitch (sexy, nasty song...could be offensive to some, but most women I know actually like the song! If you beeped this one, there'd be almost no lyrics left.)

Break me down, you got a lovely faceWe're going to your placeAnd now you got to freak me outScream so loud, getting fuckin' laidYou want me to stay, but I got to make my way

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey You're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

Take it off, the paper is your gameYou jump in bed with fameAnother one night paid in full, uhYou're so fine, it won't be a lossCashing in the rocks, just to get you face to face

Hey You're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

Get the videoFuck you so goodGet the videoFuck you so good

Crazy bitchCrazy bitchCrazy...bitch

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back, come on

Baby girlYou want it allTo be a starYou'll have to go downTake it offNo need to talkYou're crazyBut I like the way you fuck me

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right on

HeyYou're a crazy bitchBut you fuck so good, I'm on top of itWhen I dream, I'm doing you all nightScratches all down my back to keep me right onYou keep me right on

Staring at the blank page before youOpen up the dirty windowLet the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distanceSo close you can almost taste itRelease your innovationsFeel the rain on your skinNo one else can feel it for youOnly you can let it inNo one else, no one elseCan speak the words on your lipsDrench yourself in words unspokenLive your life with arms wide openToday is where your book beginsThe rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the linesWe've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before youOpen up the dirty windowLet the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distanceSo close you can almost taste itRelease your inner visionsFeel the rain on your skinNo one else can feel it for youOnly you can let it inNo one else, no one elseCan speak the words on your lipsDrench yourself in words unspokenLive your life with arms wide openToday is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skinNo one else can feel it for youOnly you can let it inNo one else, no one elseCan speak the words on your lipsDrench yourself in words unspokenLive your life with arms wide openToday is where your book beginsThe rest is still unwritten

Nobody gives a damn about anybody else,
Think everyone should feel the way they feel themselves,
Rich men think that happiness is a million dollar bills,
So how come half of them O.D. on sleeping pills,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, you all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help, if no one hears the screams,
No one hears the scream,

No voices in the sky, confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky,

The ones who dedicate the flags to make you brave,
They also consecrate the headstone on your grave,
Ritual remembrance when no one knows your name,
Don't help a single widow learn to fight the pain,

chorus

Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
T.V. preachers sell salvation for a buck,
You don't need no golden cross, to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

Dylan's "Girl from North Country":
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

I like the word "FUCK" when it depicts true emotion (political, bad love, etc.) not just fucking raunchy sex! If a song just has the word "Fuck" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over it's just shitty.

That's just my opinion, and I expressed it to Rose more than once. She still don't understand or something? I was a privet preference, only expressed to Rose but I recon its public record now. Oh well.

I guess it's because I had kids growing up and I have grandkids that I wouldn't want to listen to it on the radio since kids listen to radio songs. And I just don't like raunchy music myself.

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

Why do some singers do that? Don't they know that it just makes them sound stupid and uneducated? I'm not against swearing in songs, but I don't think that it should be done any more than regular speaking. Dylan and Lennon are two of the greatest song writers ever, between them they've sworn maybe in 10 songs?
